Some of my earliest memories with my dad were building RC's together in the 80's and 90's and going to the RC track or BMX tracks to rip around. Spending the winters building a new car or buggy were some of the best and fondest memories I have with him.
If every son had a father like this the world would be a much better place. Love your vids, tips and tricks in the crawler world. I’ve been completely encapsulated the last few weeks with my deadbolt and the plethora of upgrades available. This is a great channel!
I have become a 24th scale addict, and I am a builder by heart. This beast is on my radar, however, I am working on two others att. I love the builds. Hint for tire insets, I use 15ppi open cell foam (black aquarium filter). Cut a square as big as inserts you want. Hold insert against the square and trim to size. I found my Lexan scissors work best for cutting out the center. I then trim the sharp edges inside and out. Awesome father and son time. The squeal says it all.
My brothers and I all watched this video and are all talking this morning about how cool it was that you let your son help! I'm sure he loved getting to help dad and learned alot because you involved him in the process. Now we're all reminiscing about helping our dad when we were kds.
Best comment ever. There is nothing I love more than sharing this stuff with my little guy. I can only hope that he looks back and happily remembers these times when he's older!
I was able to squeeze the electrics (Gen 1) upside down under the hood. It just barely clears the servo, but works fine. So far this rig has been amazing. 👍🏼
Your not kidding it's tight in there. Had to ditch the fake interior and battery tray and just mount it to a minimalist chassis to make it look right on gladiator links as well as give me usable shock mounts. It works but there was a lot of cutting and fabricating with a 370 can motor in it
The reason why I love scx23 is due to the indoor trails you can build at home and taking it outdoors to take on the world . The size is perfect I can buy so many and never care about space and each part is much much more cheaper than what I’m use to
Heck yeah I’m going to do it. A little different. I’m going to go nuts on a gladiator then use the left over parts ++ to build it. Going to get one from my local shop today
Just scooped one of these up... I'm building it with rear links and rear driveshafts from the deadbolt... The lower links I'm using McCue Mantis... With a brushless out runner, ogrc servo, and red aluminum axles... Fingers crossed...
I love this small buggy. Your ESC will fit under the cowling. Your front panel will need to be installed on top of the tubing. The ECS will mount at the perfect spot with the double-side tape.
It's such a cool little crawler! I just uploaded part 2 of my build showing how I squeezed the V2 Electronics down beside the transmission leaving the rear tray available for battery mounting!
It does looks like there might be enough space front under the front brace thing. I like the beside the transmission mount option because it balances the weight of the motor and gets more weight down low!
I swapped fms fcx24 axles under mine. I run Injora brass wheels on this rig, after seeing your slyme ballz video I ordered a set. It’s a very capable machine although I wish it had more options for shock mounts. I use a very small (400mah) battery on one side next to the door and stick the esc/receiver on the other side. It works for now. I put in the “big block” so nothing fits under the hood! Great job on this one
@@CapeCrawlers I just got these little lumeneir 75c 300mah batteries that fit perfect in that door panel area. Should be better than the 20C i have been using. I don’t have the “interior” installed. I run the furitek lizard but still use the v1 electronics for the rx, which goes in that door panel area. The biggest tinkering will be finding link set ups you like, at least for me. I used deadbolt front and c10 fronts for the rear. Now i might have to grab some 64mm mini pins and add slyme balls to those. It looks like you really nailed it on the injora axles, that thing really flexes. For being a not so LCG chassis, this thing sure does crawl over everything very well. I was using mofo’s printed version of the ugly mofo with a Datsun 620 truck body mounted on. I was ready for a new look and this was it. If you do come back to this rig, post us a video of what you find.
Thank you! When he grabbed the hex driver and started tightening the screws, that was a cool moment. This was his first real hands on project and it will be a special one for that reason!
Yesssss!! Man.. the first comment I made was when I noticed little man was in the vid with you.. but when you guys were seeing how it flexed.. priceless had to comment again.. lol.. great job man.. all smiles here.
I did this same build and was also disappointed about space for the esc and receiver and battery. I think the ultra24 is a much better design and I love how yours came out so I think that’s my next project! Great video!
Such a cool build! You can tell Axel really likes it too. So cool to see you guys building something together! As for overall cost that's not bad for fully custom rig I think. Another great vidoe Adam, thanks for taking the time to do this! Take care!!!
@Cape Crawlers I went ahead and placed an order with Injora, everything I need to build my own mini Capra. I used your discount code, thanks for that!!
That's crazy, I bought this today for my son and even the green one too for his birthday tomorrow to build it with him his name is aksel (Norwegian Axel) good stuff man real dad's rc with their kids 😂
Hey bro, I put my Esc/receiver under the roof panel and took out the front two screws so it can flip up to plug in my battery. The servo wires are plugged in facing the rear of the car and the power switch is accessible on the passenger side of the vehicle. The battery is strapped in at the rear on mine also. Great video I was thinking I may go for smaller electronics as well maybe a Furitek lizard pro and use a radiolink receiver.
Wising you more likes! You do a great, thorough job on all of your videos, and have a great little helper! I have recently got into rock crawlers, and your instructive vids have helped a bunch as a starting point for where I want to continue this hobby. You have pretty much gone thru the progression of what I am going thru now on my crawler and shown me what I can do next for mods.
Hope you're feeling 💯%! Speaking of the Capra, I got a friend who wants to get the 24 Gladiator & turn it into a long wheelbase Capra, in which, I'm pretty excited to see!
when I do my tow rig comp, I'm going to use the buzzsaw so I can have torque to pull and speed to get around! also mofo rc's aluminum magnetic part tray is awesome! highly recommend for when you have screws laying around, the tray is a little small so I would probably get at least 2.
My dude!... ty so much for being an honest and informative content creator!.. I built a really capable deadbolt that's extremely fun to drive and watch drive thanks to you! I'd love to show you but I don't use any "social media".. but keep up the great work!
I am thinking about building one of these , and all of my mini crawler track is dry arizona dirt. I was wondering if those double bore shocks would get dirt in it and bind.I was also wondering what your favorite tires f,o,r ,lose dirt and rock.i have a set of lgrp 57mm swamp kings on my c10 i like them but i want to try something else.also do you think 51 mm shocks in the back would be beter
I haven't experienced binding due to dirt/debris. I have really been liking the LGRP trench kings for loose terrain. Their taller, thinner profile seems to work pretty well at finding traction in loose spots. 51mm in the rear could work out well. It would give you some nice additional articulation without a big increase in collapsed length
Thanks heaps! I have just ordered a complete Injora build with front and rear steer and thanks to you l added a few parts id have been missing if not for your video. This is a dad’s first truck the kids have theirs and I’m guessing they will want mine too haha. Just wondering what size tyres you chose?
Are used double sided tape to stick it to the bottom of the cross brace that’s supplied with the kit. Had to put it upside down so my stock servo wire could reach the connection
Super nice build! I have not watched this previously unfortunately. Thanks a lot for all the detailed information. I see that you used a lot of upgrade parts, so not much of a stock scx24 left actually. I wonder whether you could also use an fcx24 as a donor. In my opinion you would have wider axles, two speed trans, stronger servo, stronger motor in the stock setup already. Of course, more adaptation work would be required to the skid plate, shock setup, and potentially electronics and other parts. I may give this a try, but as I do not have any donor scx24s, I may just try a new fcx24. It may not look as clean as with a scx24 setup, but would definitely have its advantages.
that a cool build. i ordered mine last week with many of the same parts, i spend a little more coin and went with the furitek electronics. Figured i may as well go all in hahah. Going crazy waiting for shipping haha. Looks great, glad your kid is learning young too. We need more fabricators in the world 👍
Yours is going to be amazing with the furitek system! I am contemplating building another one with a brushless motor. I really, really like the setup and Axel won't share his green one LOL
@@CapeCrawlers Haha, if i had a sweet rig like that when i was young i wouldn't want to share either !!! Just got mine together and man......injora really did it right with this chasis, and all their parts in general. Easy to put together and clearances are just precise. Just wish the battery tray was a tad bigger for bigger batteries. Do you get a lot of torque twist on yours ?
@@scottmichael7178 I don’t feel like we get a lot of twist. It seems pretty solid. But it’s hard to notice when my son is always on the throttle with the buzzsaw motor!
I just pulled my scx24 out of the depths of my hobby room. I've been flying FPV drones for 5 years, got this scx24 in a trade with another fpv pilot and only drove it around a few times. Man this thing is a lot of fun with a few upgrades on it. I'm buying this frame kit, oil filled 39mm shocks, and injora tires and stamped wheels. In white. I have brass knuckles, brass wheel weights, and a high clearance link kit on it already. I really really want to put one of my drone motors on it. I have 2004, 2850kv. 1606 3750kv. That's the closest I have to the sizes I've seen available. Or is it worth it to put a 130 size brushed motor instead of trying to brushless swap it. I have a tiny 20a esc, and a tiny airplane reciever I can run it it. But do I need better gears? Motor mounts? Worm gears?
I would go brushless over the 130 motor personally. More power and more efficiency, plus smaller footprint most likely. You'll probably want metal transmission gears depending on your setup. The worm gears will take the power no problem. For motor mounts check out Mofo RC
Injora never fails to impress... Yes I am definitely a fanboy..lol.. if you think this kit is cool they have a 1/10 scale that is pretty much the same thing a little different but looks awesome and accepts all the axial parts
Nice work! But your links are too short, I suggest using the longest links, in addition to increasing the wheelbase, because the shock absorber changes the angle, the off-road ability will be better.
The green looks awesome on this chassis! It would be super cool to see this chassis built like you did, but the same link setup you have on the Ultra 24! For the battery, you should get one of the batteries that is the size of the stock FCX24 (Palm Power is used a lot) and put it inside the cage behind the door panels on the rock slider. Then, you can keep the ESC in the back, and if you ever upgrade it to a Furitek ESC, you can put that on the other side! You might have to add a little weight to balance it. You should get a clear one, and do a sweet custom paint job and the Furitek Rocketman! I was confused on what were you doing at 10:07?
Thats a great idea. there is plenty of room inside the cage; a lot of vacant space on either side of the transmission. A low profile battery could easily fit there. At 10:07 I am using a small nut to secure the link because my servo tray stripped out! Good eyes!
you could really gain some performance and save on room by putting one of the brushless systems in it. I think that would totally turn around how this build performed.
Just got my Treal high clearance links on the truck today. definitely in need of a better shock to open up that flex. Relocated them to the rails for a free mod, but they are still really lacking in flex.
Love love love It father son time building extra super cool trucks all around good stuff my lil man 2 1/2 he loves it too he is all about fixing truck's w Dad. keep up the good work u guys hop yah having a good wintah looking forward to more awesome vids
Build looks amazing, looks like I will have to buy a new servo. No way the stock servo cable has enough legnth to reach that far back. Thanks for the content!👍
Sweet! I'd want to use FCX24 slipping diff axles and furitek high speed gearing for a peppy little bouncer. Throw some dirt while bouncing up some hills.
I'm doing my buggy now and I have furitek lizard pro ESC and the Godzilla brushless on 3s it's fast only worried about the motor flipped to the front. Fingers crossed it all fits. Oh and I'm going with gladiator long links rear and the 58mm C10 long links on the front with 68mm huge tires so it'll be long big and fast. Fun is knocking at my door I have to go answer it. Lol
@@timwegman5776 Nice! That's quite long. You might need a axle widener kit to balance the length so it's less likely to roll over. I have a build with C10 front links and deadbolt rear links so it's a little longer then average scx24. I just got my Axial Ryft build finished so I got some knocking going on too. lol. I still want to do a 24th scale bouncer though.
Awesome video, my daughter is into watching our Bronco crawl on the couch so I think its time to get her one of her own too! Since it's suggested to use the C-10 running gear, would the Bronco platform work also? Keep up the good work and excellent videos, props from Canada!
Love your videos I just subscribed I am new to this, can you tell me in your opinion what is the best scale crawler to get into? 1/24, 1/18, 1/12, Best aftermarket upgrades available, most fun, I love building things like this. Thank you
I absolutely love the look of this thing. Do you think it could be modded to use FCX24 portal axels and electronics, with SCX24 links, skid plate etc? I would love to build a kinda hybrid rig as cheap as possible.
I ran mine with a little longer front or links in the front and you can stick your ESC under the guess what you would call the hood panel and it doesn't interfere with the arms or articulation either I use the little small Dumbo RCs
Is this an upgrade you think? Does it help CG? And is it much thinner than the deadbolts body? Sometimes rocks get caught up under the deadbolt lexan, it’s kinda wide
I’ve ordered the buggy, beadlocks, and tires so far. I was waiting for this video to see what you did shock, link, and motor wise. The thing looks like it could perform if set up, but I was a little bummed you built it for your son! 😂
I will tell you I like it enough that I think I have to buy myself one. It is a really cool rig and I can see TONS of potential! It would easily accommodate my rocketman combo and would be absolutely wild with that setup!
@@CapeCrawlers … would a lizard ultimate fit? I’ve ordered the rest of the stuff needed to complete a roller and just need to decide on ESC and motor. I’m gonna research your rocket man set up. lol
I have mine and ordered a lot of new parts for it. Can you recommend the best transmission for the Furitek Stinger (micro komoto and lizard pro)? Will the rocketman slow crawl? I ordered the Stinger package, C10 tubular links Injora +4 axles, mud terrain tires, two sets of shocks to choose from. Still need to get wheels, servo and drive shafts.
I like the LGRP billet transmission if you are buying it after the fact. I really like the Furitek stellar transmission combos and get those as often as I can. The Rocketman does not like to slow crawl! That combo just wants to RIP.
Adam great video as always! I'm currently working on building one of these for my kids to enjoy. I'm using an Injora trans, 050 66t motor, and aluminum skid combo. Also using their high clearance aluminum links in the recommended C10 length. My issue is the rear right upper link hits the back side of the motor before it gets to full compression. Are you having this issue? Other than bending or grinding the link is there a trick to fixing this I'm not aware of? This is my first 1/24 build so still learning. Coming from the 1/10 Capra and 1/32 Orlandoos.
I grabbed ours to check and the link is not touching the motor. Perhaps the Injora is longer than the buzzsaw we used? I’m not sure. I’m using all the same components you are (skid, links, etc). The only thing I can think of is the length of the Injora motor. Maybe try a 030 size or a different 050 sized motor?
@@CapeCrawlers thanks for the info! I thought the buzzsaw looked about the same size as the 050 motor, but I guess it's a little smaller. Oh well! Once I get everything wrapped up, if the up travel is too limited for my liking then I'll modify the arm or swap to a different motor. I appreciate you getting back to me. Keep up the great work!
You’ll need basically a full rolling chassis: Skid plate Links Motor, transmission, driveshafts Complete axle assemblies front and rear Shocks Servo/servo tray Esc/rx and transmitter Wheels & tires
I'd love to grab one of those chassis kits but I have 2 gk builds on the go and still waiting for parts, The scx24's seems to be rather popular, But I don't know if would have the patience to build those as they are pretty small 😆😆😆, Not sure how my dexterity would pan out with, Maybe one day
I noticed after I bought mine they came out with a clear kit so you can actually do whatever color you want I was kind of bummed I didn't see that one but you know I'll have to end up buying that too cuz this kid is so killer I'm trying to fit my RC all-wheel drive new transmission and motor comes with a 370 can little big but I'll figure out how to get it in there... Spit on it and shove it in lol 🤣
cool video and buggy.... something that i might consider in the future... i haven't watched your ultra 24 video yet.. I am going to be building an scx24 deadbolt based chassis from a Canadian company fusion 3d printing and design called the hydra. keep up the great work.. I recently subscribed because of the gladiator content
Thanks for watching! The Ultra kit is pretty impressive, but it's a much more extensive build. The injora was fairly simple and well priced. Definitely a fun project!
Hi hope you can help me, I have a little crawler with a spektrum 2in1 10a Esc/rc now my car have throttle and the steering wheel not working. Do you have any idea ? Thank you Great video
Here’s a new trick to throw at this chassis…. Grab 4 of mofos “AFIB’s” and mount them on the upper shock mount. Kaboom, more shock mount options. This thing is a killer now, and im not even using the mini pins…..yet

It was my secret to purchase more RC stuff until know...😀
Haha he was SOOOO excited! That’s the best feeling in the world. We played with them all weekend and had a blast!

Very cool build man but your son's reaction was the best, great video. Saved for reference
Thanks for watching! Whenever I can get him involved and hyped up it's the best!
Thank you I have been wanting to build one instead of buying an rtr and changing every piece. This helped a lot and I appreciate it.
Glad it helped!

Glad to see you doing more ground up builds vs just mods!
More to come soon! These are fun!
I did this same build and was also disappointed about space for the esc and receiver and battery. I think the ultra24 is a much better design and I love how yours came out so I think that’s my next project! Great video!
I love the injora buggy but the Ultra is on another level I feel.
I was gonna build the LGRP too but their axles are out of stock until the “end of this month” … which probably means next month. lol
Awesome video! Little dude's gonna love that build for sure. You can tell how excited he was driving it hahaha.
Oh man, he's totally obsessed!

Thanks for putting this up. I have the kit not yet build and was looking for a little help. Looks like a fun build and love the looks!
Thanks for watching and I hope it helps with your build! It's a great kit and we really enjoy running it.
Thanks heaps! I have just ordered a complete Injora build with front and rear steer and thanks to you l added a few parts id have been missing if not for your video. This is a dad’s first truck the kids have theirs and I’m guessing they will want mine too haha. Just wondering what size tyres you chose?
I found the esc fits perfectly just behind the servo.
I was able to fit the ESC in the front of my Endura buggy between the shock towers. Battery went in the back tray
Injora buggy I mean
Ohhhh I need to try this. How did you mount the esc?
Are used double sided tape to stick it to the bottom of the cross brace that’s supplied with the kit. Had to put it upside down so my stock servo wire could reach the connection
Super nice build! I have not watched this previously unfortunately. Thanks a lot for all the detailed information. I see that you used a lot of upgrade parts, so not much of a stock scx24 left actually. I wonder whether you could also use an fcx24 as a donor. In my opinion you would have wider axles, two speed trans, stronger servo, stronger motor in the stock setup already. Of course, more adaptation work would be required to the skid plate, shock setup, and potentially electronics and other parts. I may give this a try, but as I do not have any donor scx24s, I may just try a new fcx24. It may not look as clean as with a scx24 setup, but would definitely have its advantages.
I would love to hear about the outcome of the FCX24 donor. That would make for a heck of a buggy!
Awesome job you two!!🤩👍👍👍
That made an awesome rig my friends!!
Thank you!!
that a cool build. i ordered mine last week with many of the same parts, i spend a little more coin and went with the furitek electronics. Figured i may as well go all in hahah. Going crazy waiting for shipping haha. Looks great, glad your kid is learning young too. We need more fabricators in the world 👍
Yours is going to be amazing with the furitek system! I am contemplating building another one with a brushless motor. I really, really like the setup and Axel won't share his green one LOL
@@CapeCrawlers Haha, if i had a sweet rig like that when i was young i wouldn't want to share either !!! Just got mine together and man......injora really did it right with this chasis, and all their parts in general. Easy to put together and clearances are just precise. Just wish the battery tray was a tad bigger for bigger batteries. Do you get a lot of torque twist on yours ?
@@scottmichael7178 I don’t feel like we get a lot of twist. It seems pretty solid. But it’s hard to notice when my son is always on the throttle with the buzzsaw motor!
I just pulled my scx24 out of the depths of my hobby room. I've been flying FPV drones for 5 years, got this scx24 in a trade with another fpv pilot and only drove it around a few times. Man this thing is a lot of fun with a few upgrades on it. I'm buying this frame kit, oil filled 39mm shocks, and injora tires and stamped wheels. In white. I have brass knuckles, brass wheel weights, and a high clearance link kit on it already. I really really want to put one of my drone motors on it. I have 2004, 2850kv. 1606 3750kv. That's the closest I have to the sizes I've seen available. Or is it worth it to put a 130 size brushed motor instead of trying to brushless swap it. I have a tiny 20a esc, and a tiny airplane reciever I can run it it. But do I need better gears? Motor mounts? Worm gears?
I would go brushless over the 130 motor personally. More power and more efficiency, plus smaller footprint most likely. You'll probably want metal transmission gears depending on your setup. The worm gears will take the power no problem. For motor mounts check out Mofo RC
Injora never fails to impress... Yes I am definitely a fanboy..lol.. if you think this kit is cool they have a 1/10 scale that is pretty much the same thing a little different but looks awesome and accepts all the axial parts
They are doing great things over there. Love the balance of cost and performance. Great stuff!
Little guy drive pretty darn good!
Nice work! But your links are too short, I suggest using the longest links, in addition to increasing the wheelbase, because the shock absorber changes the angle, the off-road ability will be better.
Thinking deadbolt rear and c10 front like I have on some other builds. It is probably unstoppable with a longer wheelbase!
Fun build! I have one on the way. I think I am going to build it up with my takeoffs or stuff for now.
New sub, cool channel got the c10 and fcx 24 for Christmas love them both! Already spent a fortune on both 🤭🙄
Welcome! Have fun with the builds! It sounds like you've entered the upgrade vortex. Time to get a second job to fund the upgrades LOL
Little man got some skills driving 👍
The green looks awesome on this chassis! It would be super cool to see this chassis built like you did, but the same link setup you have on the Ultra 24! For the battery, you should get one of the batteries that is the size of the stock FCX24 (Palm Power is used a lot) and put it inside the cage behind the door panels on the rock slider. Then, you can keep the ESC in the back, and if you ever upgrade it to a Furitek ESC, you can put that on the other side! You might have to add a little weight to balance it.
You should get a clear one, and do a sweet custom paint job and the Furitek Rocketman!
I was confused on what were you doing at 10:07?
Thats a great idea. there is plenty of room inside the cage; a lot of vacant space on either side of the transmission. A low profile battery could easily fit there. At 10:07 I am using a small nut to secure the link because my servo tray stripped out! Good eyes!
@@CapeCrawlers Sweet, thanks for the response!
i would love to see this thing compared to the new ax24!
And you will!
Dyno-Claus! Rockin it.
Thank you!
you could really gain some performance and save on room by putting one of the brushless systems in it. I think that would totally turn around how this build performed.
Totally agree. I think I may build myself one and do a brushless motor in it!
Just got my Treal high clearance links on the truck today. definitely in need of a better shock to open up that flex. Relocated them to the rails for a free mod, but they are still really lacking in flex.
Gotta get some more travel so those links can move!
Really love this kit but I run brushless and sadly not looking like Komodo with fit, keep up great vids
Bummer! Looking at the cage I thought for sure there was room! Maybe the micro komodo?
Looks very nice, I would recommend a brushless motor, very cool slow control.
The tubular frame with attached panels looks 100x better than the new Axial AX24.
I really love the looks of the Injora buggy. They did great with the design!
Awesome build Adam , looks like a great little buggy ,have fun with it
Thanks! It's a ton of fun and my son loves it if you couldnt tell!
Love love love It father son time building extra super cool trucks all around good stuff my lil man 2 1/2 he loves it too he is all about fixing truck's w Dad. keep up the good work u guys hop yah having a good wintah looking forward to more awesome vids
Thanks for watching! There’s nothing better than getting my little man involved in the builds. That’s awesome that your little guy is into it too!
built 2 trx4ms just got a scx24, not sure if i wanna go overboard with this build too or keep it like a trail truck
\
Build looks amazing, looks like I will have to buy a new servo. No way the stock servo cable has enough legnth to reach that far back. Thanks for the content!👍
Thanks! And yes, you will need an extension cable or aftermarket servo to make the reach!
Sweet! I'd want to use FCX24 slipping diff axles and furitek high speed gearing for a peppy little bouncer. Throw some dirt while bouncing up some hills.
That would be an awesome setup!
I'm doing my buggy now and I have furitek lizard pro ESC and the Godzilla brushless on 3s it's fast only worried about the motor flipped to the front. Fingers crossed it all fits. Oh and I'm going with gladiator long links rear and the 58mm C10 long links on the front with 68mm huge tires so it'll be long big and fast. Fun is knocking at my door I have to go answer it. Lol
@@timwegman5776 Nice! That's quite long. You might need a axle widener kit to balance the length so it's less likely to roll over. I have a build with C10 front links and deadbolt rear links so it's a little longer then average scx24. I just got my Axial Ryft build finished so I got some knocking going on too. lol. I still want to do a 24th scale bouncer though.
@CapeCrawlers , what was the total cost of the full build?
It was ~$240 I believe.
ive been dying to seen this buggy chassis in a video thanks man!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video, my daughter is into watching our Bronco crawl on the couch so I think its time to get her one of her own too! Since it's suggested to use the C-10 running gear, would the Bronco platform work also? Keep up the good work and excellent videos, props from Canada!
Thanks for watching! Yes, the bronco uses the same links/driveshafts as the C10.
Awesome thank you again!
That's a fun little chassis. What was the esc and receiver you are planning to use on this?
I may try a flysky gt5. The receiver is real small and I think you could secure it inside the cage on the rock slider
We really need more run time of this beast! Maybe on the outdoor corse?
I got some content of it on the rocks and can put up some shorts of it doing work outside!
Love your videos I just subscribed
I am new to this, can you tell me in your opinion what is the best scale crawler to get into? 1/24, 1/18, 1/12, Best aftermarket upgrades available, most fun, I love building things like this. Thank you
Holy crap i was here like not even a year ago and subscribed when you were at like 1.3k now your at 10k congrats good job.
Thank you! The channel is growing really fast. It's been an awesome ride!
I absolutely love the look of this thing. Do you think it could be modded to use FCX24 portal axels and electronics, with SCX24 links, skid plate etc? I would love to build a kinda hybrid rig as cheap as possible.
I think it could! As long as you had an scx24 skid you should be able to make that work
What axles would u rather have these injora ones in this video or the Scx24 meus isokenetic?
Man I can't wait till my portal axles get here so I can finish putting mine together
It's going to be unstoppable with portals on it!
Bro I've been checking your channel and waiting for this video. Thank you
I hope it was worth the wait!
@@CapeCrawlers for sure
Loving these SCX24 builds but wow, the price really does stack up!
They are indeed expensive little monsters.
That Buzzsaw motor is MEAN in this buggy!
It suits the build perfectly! Mean little thing!
Launching it all over was the highlight of this lol
I ran mine with a little longer front or links in the front and you can stick your ESC under the guess what you would call the hood panel and it doesn't interfere with the arms or articulation either I use the little small Dumbo RCs
Thats a great idea!
Is this an upgrade you think? Does it help CG? And is it much thinner than the deadbolts body? Sometimes rocks get caught up under the deadbolt lexan, it’s kinda wide
It's more of a lateral move than an upgrade I would say. It is thinner. The entire body is about as wide as the stock SCX24 battery
Good idea on the green panels yes ittle man awesome 👌
Green was the right choice :)
@@CapeCrawlers never go wrong with green
@@CapeCrawlers hey fyi i run v2 electronics in all my rigs but I take the esc apart and use them just raw board style saves weight and looks Kool 😎
I’ve ordered the buggy, beadlocks, and tires so far. I was waiting for this video to see what you did shock, link, and motor wise. The thing looks like it could perform if set up, but I was a little bummed you built it for your son! 😂
I will tell you I like it enough that I think I have to buy myself one. It is a really cool rig and I can see TONS of potential! It would easily accommodate my rocketman combo and would be absolutely wild with that setup!
@@CapeCrawlers … would a lizard ultimate fit? I’ve ordered the rest of the stuff needed to complete a roller and just need to decide on ESC and motor. I’m gonna research your rocket man set up. lol
@@bladeaddison3189 Yes it would!
@@CapeCrawlers … I have another question for ya … is the buggy too light for oil filled shocks? Just wondering why you used dampener shocks instead.
I’m down to servo and ESC … rest is on its way! 🤘 Used your code on Injora! 👍
If you wanted you could mount the esc under the front and take out the interior think
Injora basically made a 1/24 capra after the utb18 flop, good call !
It definitely did!
I have mine and ordered a lot of new parts for it. Can you recommend the best transmission for the Furitek Stinger (micro komoto and lizard pro)? Will the rocketman slow crawl? I ordered the Stinger package, C10 tubular links Injora +4 axles, mud terrain tires, two sets of shocks to choose from. Still need to get wheels, servo and drive shafts.
I like the LGRP billet transmission if you are buying it after the fact. I really like the Furitek stellar transmission combos and get those as often as I can. The Rocketman does not like to slow crawl! That combo just wants to RIP.
That is a great video. Awesome kit.
Adam great video as always! I'm currently working on building one of these for my kids to enjoy. I'm using an Injora trans, 050 66t motor, and aluminum skid combo. Also using their high clearance aluminum links in the recommended C10 length. My issue is the rear right upper link hits the back side of the motor before it gets to full compression. Are you having this issue? Other than bending or grinding the link is there a trick to fixing this I'm not aware of? This is my first 1/24 build so still learning. Coming from the 1/10 Capra and 1/32 Orlandoos.
I grabbed ours to check and the link is not touching the motor. Perhaps the Injora is longer than the buzzsaw we used? I’m not sure. I’m using all the same components you are (skid, links, etc). The only thing I can think of is the length of the Injora motor. Maybe try a 030 size or a different 050 sized motor?
@@CapeCrawlers thanks for the info! I thought the buzzsaw looked about the same size as the 050 motor, but I guess it's a little smaller. Oh well! Once I get everything wrapped up, if the up travel is too limited for my liking then I'll modify the arm or swap to a different motor. I appreciate you getting back to me. Keep up the great work!
Great build! What else do you need if you don't have a donor SCX24, beside the things you mentioned and the Wheels, tires and radio system?
You’ll need basically a full rolling chassis:
Skid plate
Links
Motor, transmission, driveshafts
Complete axle assemblies front and rear
Shocks
Servo/servo tray
Esc/rx and transmitter
Wheels & tires
@@CapeCrawlers Thanks, so better to buy a SCX24 as well.
I'd love to grab one of those chassis kits but I have 2 gk builds on the go and still waiting for parts, The scx24's seems to be rather popular, But I don't know if would have the patience to build those as they are pretty small 😆😆😆, Not sure how my dexterity would pan out with, Maybe one day
I swear I could be a neurosurgeon with my newfound dexterity from working on these tiny things! They are fun though.
I noticed after I bought mine they came out with a clear kit so you can actually do whatever color you want I was kind of bummed I didn't see that one but you know I'll have to end up buying that too cuz this kid is so killer I'm trying to fit my RC all-wheel drive new transmission and motor comes with a 370 can little big but I'll figure out how to get it in there... Spit on it and shove it in lol 🤣
LOL It's a great kit. Crazy value for the money!
cool video and buggy.... something that i might consider in the future... i haven't watched your ultra 24 video yet.. I am going to be building an scx24 deadbolt based chassis from a Canadian company fusion 3d printing and design called the hydra. keep up the great work.. I recently subscribed because of the gladiator content
Thanks for watching! The Ultra kit is pretty impressive, but it's a much more extensive build. The injora was fairly simple and well priced. Definitely a fun project!
I just got this in and putting it together
Only problem I have now is where to put the stock esc and need battery and servo extensions
Hi hope you can help me, I have a little crawler with a spektrum 2in1 10a Esc/rc now my car have throttle and the steering wheel not working. Do you have any idea ? Thank you
Great video
Could have taken the esc/receiver out of the box. Saves room and they will fit under interior/ hood. And battery goes where you have the esc
I don’t know if you will get this but do you have a build list for this project? Thanks
I did pretty much all injora parts: +4mm axles, 43mm shocks, aluminum transmission, emax servo, mofo buzzsaw motor, injora stamped steel beadlock wheels and mud terrain tires..
This is awesome. Would you recommend this body over the black metal plate chassis injora released a little while ago?
I personally like this version better, but I don't have hands on experience with the other body.
What a beautiful build!
Glad you like it!
Here’s a new trick to throw at this chassis…. Grab 4 of mofos “AFIB’s” and mount them on the upper shock mount. Kaboom, more shock mount options. This thing is a killer now, and im not even using the mini pins…..yet
I will check that out!
Sweet little rig.
Gotta finish my trx4m before I build something else but this might be next.
It’s a fun little project!
